I wanted to knit myself a little something special for summer. I brought together several elements I love and applied them to this design: a feminine little tank top with a boat neck and a lace panel in the middle of the back. Knitted with the silky Algua Marina, I think Mermaid is the perfect name for it!

Well, surprise! The photographer reversed the back with the front, and we concluded that this model is just as beautiful worn on both sides! It’s up to you to choose your favorite version!
